Marissa chats with Erin Entrada Kelly about her new middle grade contemporary - THOSE KIDS FROM FAWN CREEK - as well as including a multitude of points of view in your novel and how to give a unique voice and character arc to each one; some different ways to think about how you develop primary versus secondary characters; finding the middle ground when it comes to subtext, so that it is neither too vague or too obvious, and still leaves space for readers to draw their own conclusions; one fantastic question to ask yourself during editing that will help you decide what to cut and what to keep; how success does not make self-doubt or impostor syndrome go away, but how we can use those feelings to propel our work forward; and a question Marissa has never gotten to ask before: what was it like to win a Newbery Award?!
